... . this is where it gets hard to summarise, but the list, starting with the most reliable areas- solid-looking factoids- includes: the Promis soft-ware, and its alleged re-engineering and theft by sections of the Federal government; its alleged abilities to access all other systems to which it is connected; and its alleged distribution world-wide so the NSA (?) could access, via the soft-ware, other countries' information systems; Earl Brian, who may have sold it, who may have been part of the Bush October Surprise; Michael Riconosciuto and his various allegations/fantasies; the use of the land owned by the Cabazon tribe to manufacture a number of weapons and intelligence ...

(Guardian 31 August 1984) 'Project Zeus' a huge new radar dome rising on Mount Kent, Zeus will have a range of 1000 miles- well into southern Latin America. I suspect that the NSA/GCHQ may be setting up a base on the Falklands. It would make an ideal listening post since it has very little radio activity.

The bi-partisan presidential commission was created by Congress in December 1994, and heard testimony from present and former intelligence officials: it recommended the elimination of as many as 5,000 jobs within CIA, NSA and DIA.

Pentagon pollarded? The Pentagon did not receive much ...

It has been possible because of the existence of really dumb conspiracy theories of the 'it's all the fault of the Xs' variety. Who needs these crazy conspiracy theories? The great federal law and order and intelligence conspiracies like the FBI, CIA and NSA need them to legitimize and empower the term 'conspiracy theorist'. OK, it's just a hypothesis, but is there any evidence that the U.S. government has funded the purveyors of crazy conspiracy theories? It obviously isn't difficult or expensive. At a minimum it would just involve spending a few hundred thousand dollars supporting, buying and circulating ...

... opinion of Cooper. Yes, indeed it is. Well I just have to disagree: any way you cut it, Cooper's ravings are just more mud in the pool; and we got more than enough mud already.(2) Knightsbridge news Mohamed Al-Fayed's law suit- all 40 pages of it- against the CIA, DIA, NSA et al for denying him documents under the Freedom of Information Act which he believes they possess was posted on the Net on 1 September 2000.

Notes This is not mentioned by the authors. Enemy Within (London: John Murray, 1995) In a legal sense she is probably telling the truth: GCHQ/NSA would do the intercepts and Special Branch ran the agents, as has been admitted since.
